SCBA plans to meet president

Staff Correspondent

The Supreme Court Bar Association has taken a move to meet President Zillur Rahman to press home its demands including withdrawal of appointments of Ruhul Quddus Babu and M Khasruzzman as High Court judges.

SCBA Secretary Badruddoza Badal yesterday sent an application to the president's military secretary for giving a time for meeting with the president.

Its President Khandaker Mahbub Hossain yesterday told The Daily Star that they would urge the president to cancel the appointments of two controversial persons as HC judges, if they can meet the president.

“We will also urge the president to take steps so that the government frame rules for recruiting High Court judges as per the Supreme Court guidelines,” he said.
